MOSCOW, March 16 (Itar-Tass) —— Moscow has called on North Korea to abstain from launching a satellite, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Friday.

“We call on Pyongyang not to oppose itself to the international community and to abstain from actions, which escalate regional tensions and create additional impediments to the restart of the six-nation negotiations on the nuclear problem of the Korean Peninsula. We expect all the sides to show maximal self-control,” the ministry said.
